XP was, no, is amazing
XP for the win.
I have JBL E100's that were part of the Northridge Series a few years ago. They are amazing. Dual 10" drivers, the pair only $460. Hope this new series is just as good.
Nice, I like.
Whoawawoowa
TV looks a little small but I wouldn't mind having it for free.
Phillips is making an ambilihgt comeback
You can't tell the difference between 480p and 1080p? LOL wow u suxor.
This device is known as a plasma actuator in university studies. They induce a small velocity due to their strong electric field and hence ionization of the air. Because their induced velocity is so low they could only be used for thrust on small devices. For use on larger aircraft they can be used to prevent seperation on compressor blades in jet engines. They can also be used on aircraft wings to induce small velocity changes close to the wing. This would manipulate the boundary layer, potentially reducing pressure drag from separation.
Uh, no, this device is a single barrier dielectric discharge plasma actuator. This is not an ion engine with a fuel source. Therefore you need to have a ionizible medium flowing through it, the air.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
